Hygiene in the laboratory
We set chairs as a benchmark for the highest cleanliness
Extensive hygiene in the laboratory means that even the chairs are required to meet hygiene standards. All Bimos chairs are ideally suited to the requirements in laboratories. They are easy to clean, have few to no joints and are resistant to disinfectants. With their wipe-clean materials, they fit in perfectly with the clean equipment in the laboratory, even if cleanroom quality is required.
Requirements
Hygienic design as a standard
Hygienic design plays a central role for all Bimos lab chairs. This means that they are easy to clean and have been designed with as few joints as possible. Some chairs have been designed almost completely without joints and crevices where germs and bacteria could accumulate. The backs and underside of the chairs are sealed and even on the space-saving feet, they have as little contact surface as possible.
Components
It depends on the materials
All Bimos lab chairs are made of high-quality, durable materials that are particularly suitable for use in hygienically demanding environments. Plastics and aluminium are easy to wash and can be disinfected without any problems. In addition, all materials are free of harmful substances.
Equipment
Upholstery – comfortable and clean
The upholstery plays a central role in lab chairs. They are the interface between the demand for cleanliness and the need for comfort and ergonomics. That is why we recommend two types of upholstery in particular for use in the laboratory.
Cover materials
Synthetic leather
Artificial leather is the optimum upholstery option for laboratory environments and offers numerous advantages.
Bimos artificial leather is free of PVC and plasticisers. This prevents the gradual release of plasticisers over time and the subsequent hardening and cracking of the material. Consequently, the artificial leather remains permanently soft and flawless.
It does not contain any phthalates that are harmful to health or the environment and has been fire safety tested in accordance with DIN EN 1021-1 and -2.
Configure LABORATORY NEON with artificial leather
The surface is washable, easy to care for and easy to keep clean. Even aggressive chemicals do not affect the material, which makes it a particularly durable and thus economical cover material. This means that all cleaning instructions can be strictly adhered to and employees can be sure that the chair does not pose a risk to lab results.
Configure LABORATORY NEON with artificial leather
The artificial leather cover material is not only hygienic, but also soft. This means it ensures pleasant, comfortable sitting throughout the day. For employees, this is a decisive factor that influences satisfaction and motivation in the workplace.
Configure LABORATORY NEON with artificial leather
The artificial leather is resistant to all commercially available disinfectants. The resistance to disinfectants has been tested and certified by OETI – Institut für Ökologie, Technologie und Innovation GmbH. It therefore unquestionably meets the strict cleaning regulations in laboratories.
